Will probably move provided our mods aren't some random IGN mods. Bonus if post count moves too.

Doubt I will migrate ...
There's a whole new world outside my front door awaiting my wrath... It's time. Everything has an end, it's just a matter of when.

i like how quote thinks everyone won't ignore his quote the second that's an option.
I'm actually hoping you and your kind will put me on your Ignore List. I've been asking for that option to be implemented here on vnboards for a number of years now. Heck, I've even asked Teddy to modify the IGN IL so that when I add a name to the IL, the other person automatically can't see anything I post as well.
So, once again, you are WAY behind the curve here on what I am thinking.

What kind of a puss needs to ignore anything on a internet forum? I have a hard time believing that anyone is childish enough to just not skip past posters they dont like even here. An ignore feature has to be the biggest waste of time ever, I have a hard time believing anyone would actually need garbage like that.

I ask myself the same thing about people who plot and plan on separate boards how to intentionally bait, troll, and generally launch personal attack after personal attack on someone.

Why would anyone care? This is the internet. Surely no one is stupid enough to care if people are baiting them on the internet or trolling? That happens damn near everywhere on the internet. I highly doubt there is anyone that thin skinned around here, I mean think of how giant of a pussy you'd have to be to let something as dumb as that bother you. Massive self esteem issues. An ignore button isnt right for someone as weak willed as that, they just need their internet unplugged. Most of us normal folks just dont read those posts or laugh them off. I cant imagine living a life that poor where you'd have to be concerned about that kind of thing.

Like I said before, I ask myself the same thing.
It takes two to tango. When reason and sensibility fails, then automation should/can be, used.
I don't see why you care if I or others would use such a feature (it already exists on IGN, many other boards, and even Facebook). So it's not like it is a "waste of time" to develop it ... because it is already done.
And yes, there are plenty of people who are not only "thin skinned", but also seem to take glee in tormenting other people for their own personal kicks. While you can't imagine it, that is the reality of the world, and another reality of it is that not having options like this will drive people away (which is what has happened to vnboards) and on to other boards that do have it.
Or to borrow a line from a movie: "People who really want to have a good time won't come to a slaughterhouse. And we've got entirely too many troublemakers here. Too many 40-year-old adolescents, felons, power drinkers and trustees of modern chemistry."
An IL (or Block User from Facebook) is a way to avoid driving people elsewhere ... which is what IGN wants to prevent, because they want to make money on click-throughs.

I guess I didnt realize such people existed, I mean I cant even imagine an adult being that much of a giant baby that they'd actually need a feature just for that built in. If I ever felt tormented by a nameless internet troll I'd probably just delete myself from the internet, I mean my god how bad does one have to think of themselves to let something like that happen? How would a person like that survive the real world? Sooz can handle the trolls for gods sake, it has to take some serious mental issues if you are worse off than Sooz...
Wow.

Huh?
Seriously think about it. Who in their right mind is going to be that affected by some internet trolls? These have to be the same people that they put warning stickers on buckets for. I want to know who these people are that are so weak willed that they are letting internet trolls affect them this much. Any normal person would just laugh or move on, hell not normal people like Sooz just laugh and move on. I want to know who these people are that are this crazy. Which ACFers actually need this?
